whitepaper Webcast: The New Exchange Architecture: Using Continuity to Lower Cost and Improve Email Availability2006-12-05 12:57:34 MessageOne
  Microsoft Exchange servers are prone to outages resulting from database and Active Directory corruption, viruses and malware, hardware failures, SAN failures, improper configuration, and loss of connectivity due to natural disasters and other disruptions. Until recently, however, there were no low-cost solutions to protect your enterprise against all of these failure scenarios.

But now more than 1,000 major companies have adopted a new architecture for Microsoft Exchange—one that ensures uninterrupted email availability. By combining traditional recovery approaches such as tape backup, clusters, and replication with low-cost, managed continuity services, these organizations have eliminated the risk of downtime while reducing network complexity and lowering their email management costs.

Check out this TechRepublic Webcast, now available on demand, to hear Paul D'Arcy, Vice President of Marketing at MessageOne, and James Hilliard, Moderator for TechRepublic, drill down on these important email availability topics and more:
  • Understanding real-world failure data for Microsoft Exchange
  • How a standby email system that can be activated in 60 seconds can complement your existing tape, cluster, replication, or SAN-based recovery strategies
  • How MessageOne's low-cost, managed EMS Email Continuity can help you ensure 99.999% Exchange and BlackBerry availability
There's only one high-availability solution for email that's immune to database corruption and Windows viruses: MessageOne's EMS Email Continuity. So listen to this free Webcast, sponsored by MessageOne, to learn more about EMS and how it can help you ensure that your company's email is always up and running, no matter what.

whitepaper Cabling Lifecycles and Total Cost of Ownership0000-00-00 Siemon
  Focusing on enterprise cabling infrastructures where plans are to occupy the premises for at least 5 years, this paper demonstrates that Augmented Category 6 (6A) or higher cabling systems are the most economical solutions, providing a solid return on investment. As cabling represents 5-7% of the overall network investment, understanding the full lifecycle and industry trends will assist in your decisions. The paper compares total cost of ownership for a 24 channel cabling system ranging from category 5e through TERA category 7/class F.

whitepaper Convergence of Fault and Performance Management2006-03-01 Network General
  Network management systems separately approach "fault" management, whether something is up or down, from "performance" management, which is a measure of how well something is working. The concern of an operations group is whether a managed element is up or down. However, as the need matures from a reactive component to a proactive one, the next requirement is "how is the system performing". This white paper describes the basic features of these two classes of measurements, and how today's enterprise requirements are forcing them to converge. The paper also describes how Network General Sniffer Enterprise NetVigil incorporates real-time performance management and scalability, while abstracting fault and performance management, to a new level of Business Service Management.
